Keyboard input methods
An input method enables you to type words or characters that are not available using the characters on your keyboard
layout. In some cases, input methods give you a phonetic approximation of a word based on the keyboard layout you are
using. Your device can then suggest a character or diacritic based on the sound you choose.
In other cases, input methods provide you with gestures and key combinations for languages. Some keyboard input
methods are common to all supported languages, such as word prediction or selecting accented characters by pressing
and holding keys.
